Baghdad -- Sen. John Kerry, whose seemingly shifting positions on the U.S. war in Iraq plagued him throughout his presidential campaign, came to this war- torn capital Wednesday to see for himself whether the country was moving toward stability or deeper into chaos.

Kerry, who repeatedly charged during the presidential campaign that President Bush had botched the war effort, was greeted warmly by U.S. soldiers in Baghdad.

no they probably announced him, the troops, out of respect because they are spectacular Americans (they would have to be to clap for this idiot!!) gave polite applause, but that is like a standing ovation or riot after Ohio State knocks off Michigan to the <font size=7)CR(/font size=7)AP

(Out of Baghdad!!!! But still boycotting boycotts)

liberals create their own "facts". they create a "fact" by telling a lie; then they repeat it time and again until others take it as "fact" without question. one of the prime examples is their lie about President Bush's intelligence. Liberals continue to spout that lie, even well after real facts prove it's a lie. It's the same old adage,

I contacted the readers representative at the San Francisco Chronicle about the misleading/false headline on the article. He acknowledged it was incorrect, and was contacting the copy desk. -- If you wish to also contact the readers rep, POLITELY, his email is readerrep@sfchronicle.com

While there are Liberals in the military, they are by far the minority. The few in existence could have been herded to meet with him but The photos released do not indicate cheering. Caption to one has the troops registering a complaint with the Senator about good news never being told about Iraq.

When Kerry arrived in Baghdad, he was a little depressed, thinking about his failed presidential ambitions. Then, he made a speech which, in his opinion, was a real barn-burner that really stuck it to that poopy-head George Bush. This made Kerry feel better, even cheerful. When a reporter asked him how he had enjoyed trip, Kerry said "I was cheered in Baghdad."

"Baghdad -- Sen. John Kerry, whose seemingly shifting positions on the U.S. war in Iraq plagued him throughout his presidential campaign, came to this war- torn capital Wednesday to see for himself whether the country was moving toward stability or deeper into chaos."

WHO does he think he is???? Hasn't anyone told him he was NOT elected President and nothing he says will be believed whether good or bad? Buffoon alert!

Less than 30% of soldiers in Iraq have voted for him. I am sure they can fill a room with these few soldiers that supported him. This not a big deal as the San Francisco newspaper is trying to make it.
